Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1489

'Here it comes,' Wang Wei thought, feeling a headache coming. In his short conversation with the Heavenly Empress Serpent, he could tell what kind of person she was: unpredictable. She does not follow societal norms and can change her mood, as if she were changing her clothes. Crazy people and her kind are the two types that Wang Wei least likes to deal with since it's challenging to map out their behaviors.

"I'm here for the Primogenitor Devil's weapon," Wang Wei revealed, and the atmosphere immediately became even more tense.

"I had a feeling this would be the case," the Empress replied.

"It is the last key to remove the lock, so I must get it. However, I understand this is your property, so I promise to return it upon succeeding my goal," Wang Wei explained.

"How do you know it's in my hands?" she asked. She has kept that secret for countless yuan epochs and even hid the weapon from the two suns. So, how did this little brat know about it?"

Wang Wei thought about how to answer: "I met the Primogenitor in the lower dimension. After promising to save the remaining members of his clan, he told me about it."

"Isn't he dead? Oh, it should be an obsession," the Empress nodded.

"Your highness, what's on your mind?" Wang Wei asked.

"Now that it's business, I'm no longer Lady Si?" Si Meihui rolled her eyes, making Wang Wei roll his eyes. Who was the one who made the atmosphere tense and stiff? Sadly, he had to control himself and retain his business smile.

"Well?"

"Unfortunately for you, I can't do that."

"Why not? I believe everyone, including you, does not want to live forever in this cage, right?" Wang Wei asked.

"You have a point, but my answer remains the same."

"Lady Si, be reasonable. The lock's destruction will benefit everyone, including you. If you give the weapon, Heavenly Dao will reward you with purple merit."

"Reasonable? Why does everyone want me to be reasonable? Does it look like I want to be sensible? I go out of my way not to be reasonable," she snapped back. Wang Wei could see the madness seeped through as her nail elongated and her hair dancing behind her like living snakes.

"What you're saying is you purposely act unreasonable? It sounds like you allow other people's view or criticism to affect how you behave," Wang Wei swiftly said.

Si Meihui's pupil dilated, her snake-hair paused, and her aura diminished slightly. The state lasted a few seconds before she suddenly smiled, acting like the previous volatile state was someone else: "I guess I never thought about that. You're right. I can be reasonable."

"I'm glad to hear this. I promised to return the weapon and willing to sign a binding agreement," Wang Wei said as his body relaxed a little.

"Come back in about half a million yuan epoch," Si Meihui nodded.

"Pardon me?"

"Come back in half a million yuan epoch and I'll lend you the weapon," she uttered, almost making Wang Wei lose his composure. He controlled the urge to call and ask if she was mad.

"Do you understand the consequences of waiting for so long? All the advantages we have so far will be gone. 250,000 yuan epoch is enough time for that bastard to recuperate and concoct another fucked up plan. By then, we will all be doomed."

"You are underestimating the people of the world," Si Meihui replied while dismissively waving her hand. "The world will suffer, true, but we will survive and become stronger afterward."

Wang Wei glanced at her, realizing she truly believes these words. He did not know whether she was stupid or too confident in the members of her generation. 'Why does she want to wait so long? Could this be the time needed to reach the Half-Step Transcendent Realm? Hmm, it's unlikely since she took the Primogenitor Devil's descendant to use their blood to control the weapon. The greater possibility is she needs time to completely wash away the Primogenitor's mark and gain absolute control.'

"It's good you have this level of faith, but I can't take the risk," Wang Wei stated. "So, the weapon must leave with me."

"And how are you going to take it?" Si Meihui said, looking him in the eyes.

"What does that mean?" Si Meihui asked. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}
